Now that I can DL the Aeon beta, I Cannot open the dmg icon.

Post by JayPro »

This is frustrating. I've waited all this time to be able to access the beta after buying and updating my SS apps...And just as my post indicates, I cannot mount the %#^$#! dmg file after unzipping.

Machine Specs: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 w/2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 gig 1333 Mhz DDR3.

I Used the new password as it was mailed to me BTW.

Smeg......just bloody smeg. That's what my luck is. :evil:

@Jux:

Nope. That won't mount either. With the beta, I tried fixing Permissions w/ Disk Utility and it told me the dmg was OK. But When I tried opening the mount icon (or whatever that white, Fig Newton-looking icon's called) within the DU app, I got something about a BOM file missing in the .pkg file...whatever that means.

.....I mean, I *know* what a .pkg is; but this .BOM thing makes my head hurt figuring out what it is......... :P
